waaaaiiit, Tiki is not going anywhere. It's here to stay this time. It's very interesting, multifaceted, and the history is fascinating. Now this thread can die. |

This thread might die but others more or less just like it will rise up to take its place. What is the scope of the "Tiki Revival" today 2011 Have We Just Experienced the Latest Wave of a Tiki Resurgence, and resulting Devolution? 2011 Tiki Central Burnout after the Oasis? 2004 What's Changed On Tiki Central? 2003 As for the original question of this thread "Is the tiki revival movement coming to an end?" here's another thread pondering rumors of death... The End of the Shag Era? Officially un-cool? Afraid so. 2003 |

I don't think the Tiki revival is coming to an end. I think it's just leveled off. That's fine. There was/is still alot of tiki trash out there, but it seems to be going away. What fun would it be if it wasn't just a bit under the radar? Would you still like it if it was mainstream? I don't think so. |

"What fun would (Tiki) be if it wasn't just a bit under the radar? Would you still like it if it was mainstream?" -foamy- That question sounds familiar... Would you prefer Tiki as 'mainstream' or 'underground'? 2004 |

Lucas - a terrific title for the thread, even if you renamed it. I've been a lurker for many years, and it wasn't until your original thread was posted, and I was somewhat incensed at the suggestion that tiki was dying, that I started to contribute to the forum. As a result, I've been richly rewarded: I've enjoyed the banter - although I must admit that many of you are banter with such familiarity that it is intimidating :) - and I've also made contact with some really cool tikiphiles. I've enjoyed contact with some really cool artists...I'm not artistic at all; and I've been enthused with the support to I've received to promote the tiki culture (as we know it) to the new Mocktail Crowd. As a result of your thread, I've been rewarded with much support for my Tiki NYE party for 40 odd kids, and we will induct many young enthusiast to our 'Cause'. My thanks to all those that have helped... So, in answer to the new title of the post, you've at least got me contributing and a few others, so well done to you. Although, I notice that few people actually give you compliments online, and prefer to offer you (well deserved?) criticism. Perhaps I don't yet understand the banter. Are compliments misplaced?

what part of Aussie are you from? I'm down in Tasmania. Loving the vibe from this stuff, but most of all loving the home bars on this site and the cool tiki mugs. Ordered some mugs on Ebay, will order more but the postage is through the roof!!!! Will have to hit up some op shops soon, see what I can find. |

I like Lucas. We even started our our own separate shadow organization within TC. (Because the Tiki pot ain't gonna stir itself) :) But here's our 2012 New Year's Tiki Resolution: More Content, Less Bilge. "Ask not what Tiki can do for you, Ask what you can do for Tiki". UPDATE - Lucas we're still in the General Forum here. Your following post is an example of what belongs in Bilge... [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-12-28 09:40 ] |

Well Tiki was alive and well Monday at Don's So if more people start posting, 2012 might be a good Tiki year. P.S. The world is not coming to and end, That's a bet I would take |

Hey Rum Belly We're in Torquay - yup, postage from States is prohibitive and not much comes on local ebay for Aussie Tikiphiles. Haha - we've probably been bidding against each other. Haven't found too much at local markets, but my Old-Cheeze found three mugs in Tweed Heads: Two tiki-farm originals and and Old Ku Mug from the 60s. All up, $3 well spent. Hopefully you have better luck in Tassie... Had to import a couple of volcano bowls from States - have looked for years in Aus with no luck - and most of the ambience in our bar/garden is from hand made artefacts. Killed more palms than anyone could believe in the cold climate, but generous use of Mediterranean Palms has worked sooo well. Being a tikiphile in the colder southern states of Aust takes some real commitment and inventiveness :) |

Lucas - here you go again - getting mad. If it's not your dislike for the Beatles or your stand on smoking - it's always something. But in the end, you get mad, delete your previous posts, and take your ball and glove back home. Try something different. Stay and hold your ground. If you truly believe in what your are saying, hold your ground. |

Telescopes, I get what you are saying....but I have also learned, that sometimes to get by in life, you can't actually say what you REALLY think. You end up making enemies. I have enough people that dislike me as it is. I don't need to add more! I would love to say how much I seriously hate the Beatles and all music like it....but you know what? Saying so causes a shitstorm of epic, biblical porportions! And next thing you know, you are getting boycotted by people such as Squid. Who needs the grief? So in a nutshell, sometimes it is more "prudent" to sugarcoat how one feels, and even say something like "Oh, the beatles are not so bad, just not my favorite band", instead of what I want to say, which is "I would like to crush them because they killed Tiki and Lounge culture and replaced it with dirty, smelly, long haired hippies"!! See how that works? :) [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2011-12-28 14:51 ] |
